My Role

Interface, Interaction & UX Design. Self-initiated project.

The Challenge

I’ve always had friends and family ask me for film recommendations. I usually watch a few a week so probably a little bit more than the average person. I find it hard to keep tracking of all of the films I’ve watched so having a living list inside an app that would be a massive help. It would also be good to allow users to find recommendations inside an app rather than looking at various websites for reviews.

Target Audience

People like me that find it hard to keep track of all the films I’ve watched and which ones were my favourites.

Users that don’t want to waste time looking at reviews when they find something to their taste quickly inside the app.

Objectives

There’s a number of things I want the app to do. First thing would to view the current favourite films based on different time periods such as the last 7 days, 30 days and past year. Also the all-time favourites list based on all the users most liked films. A friends list to see if they’ve added anything new.

Next up is the taste section which shows users with similar likes to you and the differences in your favourites list so you can find something potentially awesome that you never heard of.

There’s also profiles which show the users favourites and watchlist. Alerts is to keep you updated with new films your friends have added to their lists.

They’ll also be search and remove friend which should be self explanatory.

Each film will have it’s own respective details screen where you can like, add to watchlist/favourites. It’ll also indicate where you can watch the film with online options like Netflix and Prime Instant Video or if you want a hard copy from Amazon.

Testimonials

Marcus’s design and communication skills throughout this project were second to none, which helped make the project run smoothly as possible. It’s easy to see his love and passion for design, this stands out in his work. Overall Marcus is very hardworking and a fantastic UI Designer. Thanks to his great work were able to secure some funding to take the app to the next level. I believe he would be a great asset to any project and I would highly recommend him.

Marcus is a designer with a fantastic portfolio that takes his job very seriously and really cares about the end result. Marcus introduced me to many tools and processes such as Zeplin, Slack, and Marvel App. This was unexpected and is a quality that creates a sustainable business relationship. Now with a better understanding of the process, I am more confident that my team of developers can turn his design into reality.

I tried to take on the design for Rendezwho myself but hit a wall because I’m a developer not a designer. I think the designs Marcus provided were unique and visually simulating. I very much liked working with him on this project and think he provided very high quality work. I would like to work with Marcus in the future.

Rendezwho

UI designers who can create clean design are few and far between. We needed an individual who could take the brief and run-with-it, with UI design there are a lot of problems that need to be solved, and Marcus does just that. The way Marcus could take a brief and produce designs back to us quickly was a real help for our studio. When Marcus first came on board, we were fighting fires and needed someone who could be thrown into the deep end and handle it and he took it in his stride!
